Days Out Are For Dogs Too
Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

Hillmount Belfast is a large garden centre on the Castlereagh Hills edge of the city, welcoming dogs inside all shop areas. Browse plants, outdoor living, gifts and pet sections with your dog at your side, though the 220-seat café remains guide-dogs only.
The indoor dog access covers the breadth of the retail offer, making this a genuinely useful stop when you're stocking up on anything from bedding plants to garden furniture and your dog won't settle in the car. The pet section is a natural destination in its own right.
Hillmount sits within easy reach of Bangor and the wider Belfast catchment, offering the kind of developed garden-centre experience that turns a quick errand into a proper outing. Dogs welcome inside the shop areas means you can take your time without the usual garden-centre juggle of leaving someone outside with the lead.
